Codename: Kids Next Door is CN, right? I like that show. It doesn't ownz0rz me, or anything, but it's usually pretty cool. There was an episode where all the kids are trying to deliver a pizza, or something, and it's split up into five sections, each one focusing on a different kid, and each one with a story and art style tailored after the particular kid (the one about Number 3 done all in crayon and making no fucking sense was the best). It was the first episode I saw, and I thought it was more or less brilliant.
No other episode has been that good, but they all are pretty nifty.
Yeah, that's Cartoon Network.
It, along with Billy and Mandy, were actually voted into Cartoon Network's line up by some kind of poll, there was a big event, they showed all these pilots for shows.

Huh, cool.
Also, Billy and Mandy is probably my favorite CN show, including all the Adult Swim stuff.

Like I said before, that is my favorite episode of Samurai Jack, everything works so perfectly and the robot knowing that he probably won't survive the encouter with Jake makes the entire episode very moody. Yuo ony see Jack for 5 seconds in that one.
Oh man, the zombie-rave kids episode, I swear that had Jet Set Radio written all over it
Toonami Jestream has Megas XLR. Apparently I do dig giant robots.
It's too bad the writing in Megas XLR was on par with all of CN's other original cartoons, which is to say ear-bleedingly bad. I tried to like Megas, I really did, but I cringed every time anyone said anything.
Damn near everything in the show was a pun. How can you not like puns?
Read some Xanth and say that again.
So the show is bad because other shows are better?
Obviously. It's a cardinal law of the internet. Once you like something, everything remotely similar or competitive sucks.
Wow, way to miss the point, and not only not hit the target, but possibly injure the person standing behind you.
The statement was "How can you not like puns?" And the response was "Go read something full of so many puns that you'll choke to death on them." How you guys came to the conclusions that you did is a miracle of unnatural science.

That conversation went from A to B and then to E. I'm somewhere around C and lost the fucking map, so I'll just go sit in the corner.
Also, was I the only one who did a spit-take in that one Billy and Mandy episode with Billy's "Dream Mutt?" Just hearing the announcer say "Now that's what I call doggy-style!"
Are they ever going to actually finish Samurai Jack?
They showed something in one episode that shows what will probably happen to him
[spoiler:8c1d88ba73]You see a portal to the future wher Jack is like 70 years old and dresed like a warrior king, this is most likley when he defeats Aku as one character in the episode keeps teling Jack that 'you ain't ready yet'[/spoiler:8c1d88ba73]

Sarksus, that is a Genndy Tartakovsky work.
Pay attention.
No, but it's close. It's Craig McCracken, who did Powerpuff Girls with Genndy. And maybe also Samurai Jack I think. I guess Foster's is the best out of a bad bunch.
McCracken and Tartakovsky just did Powerpuff Girls together.
Genndy did Clone wars and Samurai Jack by himself, and McCracken does Foster's solo.
Fixed, Craig was the art director on Dexter's Lab. In fact some of the best episodes had Craig working on it.
C:KND seems to be developing a story arch or something, I watched a new episode the other day, where #1 thought he was the President (Operation: W.H.I.T.E.-H.O.U.S.E.). At the end

Right, but I meant a feature that shows the final conflict instead of a cliffhanger like that where you know Jack wins, eventually, but it's never shown.

If only there was somewhere on the internet you could go to find information instead of jumping to random conclusions that aren't even in line with the original statement. Such a Philosopher's Stone of information would truly be a glorious and unprecidented boon for our society.
billy and mandy has a whole lot of refrence to stuff.
A dune refrence. I would not consider obscure.
A God Emprior of Dune episode...
well, that just fucking special.
They referenced Dune a second time, too. The beauty pageant one. They had all the girls dress up in different themes. One of them was "Gom Jabbar", which cued one of the girls with her hand in a box yelling "It burns!!!"
I watch Fosters for one reason, and for one reason only:

And I am not.
Which reminds me:
CN is showing Courage this month, due to Halloween and all that nonsense. It's been totally divorced from the lineup for a long time, which is a real shame, since it's some of the best writing and art I've seen on that channel.
Some of the stuff makes Billy and Mandy look like a bed of roses.

So... ah... is it okay that I think 90% of Robot Chicken sucks ass?
There's a funny bit here and there, but I really can't abide "celebrity humor". It's like watching the E! channel while reading X-Entertainment, but with piss-poor claymation.
I'm a bit apprehensive about this Frisky Dingo show too, considering how awful Sealab 2021's last two seasons went.
But, on a good note, how about them new episodes of Harvey Birdman?
JB got completely lame near the end of its run, when they changed the animation, but some of the earlier episodes were gold (i.e., that Twilight Zone parody with the kid who sent people to the cornfield).
Two words: Johnny Bravo. Best show on Cartoon Network or best show of all time?
Hmmm... is neither a choice in there? Courage The Cowardly Dog totally owned Johnny Bravo. Nauuuughty.
I 'unno, Courage was really good but I watched it from the very first episode on the Cartoon Cartoon block to the very last one, and it eventually started to repeat the same formula alot.

I like the art direction and music of Foster's but I don't really care for the show. Billy and Mandy reminds me too much of Cow and Chicken, which I loathed.
I also don't like Codename: KND...To be fair I'm not exactly in cartoon network's target demographic any more.

When did they add that nerdy guy that was supposed to be Johnny's friend?
KND, Foster's, and Billy & Mandy are all great shows with something for the older folks: KND has some subtle adult humor and an overarching story, Foster's humor is fantastic, and Billy & Mandy is about as fucked up as you can get on basic cable.
It's just too bad Toonami's gone to pot with Pokemon Chronicles (which may be the second worst dub 4Kids has ever done. How do you go from the decent Pokemon dub to that shitfest?) and the even worse One Piece dub.
